The Godfather of Surgery

The two academicians were not joking. They completed the hospitalization procedures as quickly as possible, then lay on the hospital bed and urged the nurses to draw blood quickly and arrange pre-operative examinations.

Moreover, these two academicians had not eaten breakfast and were still on an empty stomach. It seemed that they had come prepared and not on an impromptu basis.

Dean Liu and Political Commissar Qiao went to the ward to do some ideological work with the two academicians. They talked for a long time, but it was useless. At the end of the ideological work, Academician Ding became impatient and asked directly: "What do you mean? You don't want me to hurry up." Do you want surgery? Don’t you want me to remove the time bomb on my heart?”

This rhetorical question left Dean Liu and Political Commissar Qiao speechless. If they continued, it would really lead to misunderstanding.

The sons and daughters of the bosses of the two academicians also came to the hospital to advise them not to be so impatient and in a hurry. We have a long time to go, so we can check and make arrangements slowly.

Academician Ye, who has a good temper, was okay. He talked a lot with the family members and finally convinced them.

Academician Ding had no time to reason and asked his daughter directly: "Do I have coronary heart disease? Have I been diagnosed?"

The daughter said: "Yes, it has been diagnosed!"

"Is the left main trunk blocked by more than 50%?"

"yes!"

"Is the left main trunk prone to sudden death?"

"yes!"

"Is there any indication for surgery? Either a bridge or a stent?"

"Yes, the doctor has long recommended the installation of a stent. You have been considering the long-term effects and have always wanted to use a stent."

"Now there is a doctor who has the world's best heart bypass surgery. Why doesn't he let me do the surgery quickly? Why do I have to wait? Am I waiting for sudden death?"

“-——”

Academician Ding's daughter was speechless and had no choice but to give up. Any further persuasion would be unfilial and would put her father to death.

Therefore, everyone had no choice but to arrange the surgery according to the two academicians. The only hope was to find some surgical contraindications during the preoperative examination, so that the two hasty surgeries could be temporarily prevented.

Unfortunately, the two old academicians did not find any contraindications to surgery during the preoperative examination. After the examination, Academician Ding said to Director Dai with a smile: "Do you want to find something and then say - oh, there are no contraindications to surgery. The only solution is to wait for recuperation and recuperation."

Academician Ye said angrily: "Young people are becoming less and less courageous now. I just don't understand. Our surgery must be done. We happen to have the best doctor. Why should we wait? What is the purpose of waiting? Coronary Heart Disease Will you be fine?"

"Yes, today's young people don't hesitate to operate on a patient. They don't even look at the patient. They only dare to make a decision after seeing the film-operating! But they are hesitant and timid about operating on themselves."

"That's right. It's a sure thing. What are you afraid of? We are all surgeons. We believe in science. If you do the surgery as soon as possible, you will have peace of mind."

The two old academicians were chatting among themselves, which made Director Dai and other doctors on the side feel embarrassed. What the old academicians said seemed to make sense.

The operations of the two old academicians were quickly arranged, and what came next was even more headache for the two hospital leaders, Dean Liu and Political Commissar Qiao.

I don’t know how the news leaked out, but I heard that these two academicians had been rushed to the hospital for heart bypass surgery so that Yang Ping could perform the surgery. Several old employees of 301 came to inquire about the situation, hoping to get a ride.

What's even more troublesome is that several veteran cadres who are undergoing medical examinations in the hospital also come to join in the fun, hoping to undergo surgery together.

Academician Ding himself is engaged in cardiac surgery, and now he takes the initiative to ask Yang Ping for surgery. The power of example is infinite, and those veteran cadres understand the reason.

Dean Liu counted with his fingers and found that there were still five or six people who asked to be hospitalized for surgery, and he couldn't afford to offend them all. Wasn't this putting Professor Yang on the fire?

"Professor Yang, what are you going to do? I have to explain this matter properly. I really didn't know anything about it beforehand. I didn't even know that they were going to ask for surgery at short notice. Now suddenly so many people gather together, this matter has caused a big fuss -"

Dean Liu is also confused now. After being the dean for so many years, he has never seen any scene, but he has never seen this kind of thing, and suddenly he feels that he has no experience in handling it.

Political Commissar Qiao's expertise in ideological work has also failed. Several old experts and cadres did not listen to him at all. They wanted to organize a team to perform the operation as soon as possible. Since Academician Ding asked him to do it and believed in him so much, then this young man must not have The question is, Academician Ding is a cardiac surgeon. How could he just hand over his surgery to others?

Dean Liu was anxious, but Yang Ping was not anxious. It was just a day's delay in going back: "It doesn't matter. I'll just postpone my return by one day. I'll do one surgery and several. I'll complete the preoperative examination. There's nothing you can do if you have contraindications for surgery." , remove it directly, and if there are no contraindications to surgery, let’s arrange it together.”

Young people are like newborn calves and are not afraid of tigers. What if something happens to them?

Dean Liu always felt it was inappropriate to be in such a hurry.

"Don't be anxious, it's just a few surgeries, all done with thoracoscopic surgery. There is little interference to the internal environment, minimal trauma, and recovery is quick. Don't worry too much." Yang Ping comforted Dean Liu.

Meaning, just treat it like a minor surgery.

At this time, Dean Liu received another call, his face changed drastically, he hung up the phone and said, "Professor Yang, I shouldn't have arranged this meeting. Now there are a few more people clamoring to be hospitalized for surgery. This number has increased." To 11."

"Look, 11 people have been admitted to the cardiac surgery department now. They are either our old experts or veteran cadres. What do you think we should do? I just told Dai Yuansheng that we can no longer take them in. We definitely can't take them in. We will make an appointment after the surgery." .”

Dean Liu didn't dare to do anything else now, so he came to deal with the matter personally. Several academicians, plus a few veteran cadres, gathered together to build a bridge. This was a big deal anyway.

No matter how much Dean Liu and Political Commissar Qiao tried to persuade them, these elderly people insisted on arranging surgery as soon as possible. Some even said that they had chest pain day and night and were very likely to die suddenly. At this time, if surgery could not be done in time, their lives would be in danger at any time.

Others said that their condition was serious, the operation was difficult, their physical condition was poor, and minimally invasive surgery was necessary, so they could only help Professor Yang.

Under this situation, Director Liu had no choice but to ask Yang Ping to stay and slowly complete the operation.

Therefore, Director Dai arranged these 11 surgeries for two days, and Yang Ping had no choice but to stay. However, there were only five or six surgeries a day. At Yang Ping's speed, it was still very easy.

The mission to the Imperial Capital has been completed. Yang Ping also called Xiao Su and told him that everything was fine and that he would go back in three days.

He also called Song Zimo to ask about Corey's situation. Song Zimo said that Dr. Liao Ruicheng from MIT had been visiting Nandu Medical University in the past few days and had always wanted to meet Yang Ping.

Dr. Liao Ruicheng, a celebrity who graduated from Nandu Medical University, is now the director of a key stem cell experiment in the United States and an academician of the American Academy of Sciences. Yang Ping knows this person.

In two days, Yang Ping completed 11 surgeries, all minimally invasive surgeries using thoracoscopic surgery, which solved the "worry" of veteran academicians and veteran cadres.

Several old academicians and cadres were full of praise for Yang Ping, and asked Dean Liu when he would bring the people in. Dean Liu now has a headache again, and he may have to take a detour again when meeting these big guys in the future.

Several old academicians are now united to recommend Yang Ping as a new academician. It is a pity that he cannot become an academician with such medical achievements.

On the third day, Yang Ping completed his ward check. Academician Meng recovered very well after the operation and could get out of bed and move around freely.

After the 11 surgeries performed later, several veteran experts and cadres recovered very well, and Yang Ping flew back to Nandu with peace of mind.

——

Back at Sanbo Hospital, Yang Ping rushed to work early the next morning.

Song Zimo said: "Dr. Liao Ruilian from MIT in the United States visited Nandu Medical University in the past few days and asked to see you, but you are not in the hospital. Dr. Liao has been waiting. Nandu Medical University told us to notify them immediately once you come back. Dr. Liao will not give up until he sees you."

"Then let's meet, when?" Yang Ping thought that since he was a guest of Nandu Medical University, it wouldn't hurt to meet.

Song Zimo smiled and said: "They have arrived at Sanbo Hospital and are now at the Science and Education Department. They should come to the department soon."

"So fast?" Yang Ping said in surprise.

Song Zimo said: "I told Director Zhou yesterday about your reply today. Director Zhou probably informed them yesterday that Dr. Liao couldn't wait and came here this morning. In the past few days, Dr. Liao made several trips to ask for a visit. Zhang Lin refused in the stem cell laboratory, which made Director Zhou so angry that Zhang Lin said - Professor Yang has not come back, the laboratory will not accept any visitors!"

Yang Ping nodded: "Yes, it is a critical moment for the experiment in the stem cell laboratory. Some information must be kept confidential and should not be made public, so no one is allowed to visit. This is what I told you before departure. I have not come back, and no outsiders are allowed to visit. .”

Zhang Lin is not only responsible for the management of further training and internships in the department, but also the management of laboratory visits and study. Yang Ping expressed praise for Zhang Lin's behavior.

Some things, if they work, they work, and if they don’t, they don’t work. There is not so much face and favor.

Sure enough, just after he finished his shift, Yang Ping received a call. It was from Director Zhou, who briefly talked about Dr. Liao's visit. Yang Ping said that he was waiting in the department and could come over now.

Yang Ping asked Xu Zhiliang to take the doctor for surgery, while Song Zimo and Zhang Lin stayed with him to wait for the visiting group.

About ten minutes later, Dr. Liao appeared in the office of General Surgery, accompanied by Dean Xia, Dean Sun, Director Zhou, and Rong Shaobing, a vice president of Nandu Medical University.

To others, an academician of the National Academy of Sciences is a big shot, but to Yang Ping, it is nothing. It is just a courtesy. After all, he is a guest of Nandu Medical University and an alumnus.

"Professor Yang, nice to meet you -"

Dr. Liao was wearing a shirt, tie, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looked elegant and elegant.

Yang Ping shook hands with Dr. Liao: "Hello, nice to meet you, please have a seat!"

"I have read Professor Yang's article in the United States. It is very remarkable. There has been no such exciting thing in the world of medicine for a long time. Professor Yang is the light of us Chinese people!"

Dr. Liao may have been speaking English for a long time, but he is not very fluent in Chinese.

"Dr. Liao deserves the award. I just published a few articles on a whim." Yang Ping waved his hand.

"I finally met Professor Yang today. I didn't expect that Professor Yang is a surgeon. I always thought that Professor Yang should be an expert in the field of basic medicine or biology?"

"So, I'm just an amateur."

"No, no, no, in front of Professor Yang, we are amateurs."

In the doctor's office of the General Surgery Department, everyone sat and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Dr. Liao was not familiar with Sanbo Hospital, but he was very familiar with Nandu Medical University, after all, he graduated from there.

"Our stem cell experiment at Stanford has also done some research work. Although it is not as good as Professor Yang's results, it still has some cutting-edge technologies. If Professor Yang is interested, we can cooperate. Although I have left my motherland and have been working in the United States, But I always want to do something for my alma mater." Dr. Liao said emotionally.

Dr. Liao is now the director of the Stanford Stem Cell Institute, and he intends to establish cooperation with Nandu Medical University.

"I am very grateful to Dr. Liao. Our stem cell laboratory has just been established. Both the talent team and scientific research results are very weak, and the research topics are also very limited. For the time being, we are not able to cooperate with top international laboratories, but we will definitely have opportunities in the future." Yang Ping declined politely.

In terms of scientific research, Yang Ping adheres to the principle of independence and self-renewal.

Therefore, cooperation with the outside world must be extremely selective. It must be based on one's own interests and choose cooperation partners that are complementary to oneself. To put it bluntly, the other party has the resources and technology it wants. The so-called cooperation means resources. and technology exchange.

Now in the field of stem cells, Yang Ping is already leading the way. He also basically understands the progress of several other laboratories in the world, and there is no need for him to cooperate for the time being.

What's more, this is a critical time for the experiment, and many things are not suitable to be displayed. Once you cooperate, secrets will be easily leaked.

Yang Ping is a rough guy in this regard. The so-called noble spirit of sharing is all nonsense. Either the value is exchangeable, or this thing is really irrelevant and others occasionally use it to share the noble spirit.

It would be troublesome if some of your achievements were leaked in advance, allowed to be mastered by some people, and then applied for a patent, and then others would go back and charge your patent fees and restrict your development.

There are so many such things in the world.

So sometimes it’s OK to be noble, but before doing so, you must firmly hold the initiative in your own hands.

Unexpectedly, Yang Ping refused so politely, which Dr. Liao did not expect.

"Professor Yang is being modest, but this is the virtue of us Easterners. I admire it very much. Professor Yang's laboratory is actually the best in the world. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to visit and study."

Dr. Liao's trip has two purposes. One is to get in touch with Yang Ping, hoping to reach some kind of cooperation, and the other is to visit Yang Ping's laboratory, hoping to obtain some valuable information.

"Dr. Zhang should have told you that there are currently some problems in our laboratory that are being rectified and are not convenient for visits." Yang Ping politely refused again.

When he was doing skin augmentation in the past, Yang Ping didn't take the technology seriously, and there was no problem for anyone to visit.

But what the laboratory is doing now is another experiment, a very important step, and it is absolutely not allowed to visit. Of course, even if you visit, you won't be able to see anything, but it is better to be conservative.
